Chapter 1433: Chapter 691: Another Off-the-Charts Luck

A brown bear about six feet tall burst out from the forest and upon seeing Yenia, bellowed and charged straight at her!

Yenia was so terrified that she dropped her backpack and ran for her life!

She and her teammates had once encountered a bear in the forest, but at that time they had guns, more than one, and the smaller black bear ended up as additional meat for the team.

However, Yenia would never underestimate this brown bear just because she had hunted a black bear before—this creature was extremely powerful in combat!

Ordinary people, if unarmed, would likely end up dead or severely injured when facing this behemoth!

Initially, Yenia was only thirty or forty meters away from the brown bear. Although the bear was bulky, upon seeing "food," its movements were far from slow, and the distance between them kept shrinking!

Yenia could even smell the foul odor emanating from the bear’s mouth; she dared not look back and could only flee desperately!

Just then, the sound of an engine suddenly erupted behind her, and Yenia felt like she had been granted a reprieve from death as she ran and screamed, "Help, help!"

She called out in Russian and at the same time in English!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The sound of the car’s engine did not diminish, followed by a series of gunshots, and then the roaring of the brown bear!

The brown bear stopped chasing Yenia and turned to charge at the off-road vehicle!

Yenia collapsed to the ground—she knew she had just done a full circle at the gates of Hell and come back.

The off-road vehicle stopped, and two team members armed with guns fired relentlessly at the brown bear!

No matter how fierce the brown bear was, it could not withstand bullets, and within two minutes, it lay dead on the ground.

Viola had already recognized that the person ahead was Yenia and shouted loudly,

"Yenia, Yenia!"

Yenia didn’t expect that the people who rescued her were with Viola and struggling, got to her feet and walked over.

The two team members approached the brown bear, fired two more shots, and confirmed it was indeed dead.

Viola and Yenia came together, and Yenia said shakily,

"If it weren’t for you, I might have been eaten by that bear!"

"It seems we arrived just in time," Viola was also delighted, thrilled at being able to save Yenia.

By this time, the two team members had already slit open the brown bear, removed its gallbladder, and then cut off all four paws, taking several strips of meat and placing them in the trunk of the car.

Since they needed to transport people, and because the brown bear was particularly large, it was impossible to load it entirely; thus, the two team members immediately cut the best strips of meat to take with them.

Viola led Yenia into the car, with Yenia picking up her backpack and sitting in the back with Viola while they quietly chatted in Russian.

"That Chinese rich man treats you well, right?" Yenia was also curious, "You look very well, you must be living comfortably, right?"

"He asked me whether to go manage a mining site or go to university, and I decided to go to university," Viola still seemed a bit embarrassed, steering the conversation away.

Listening to Viola say this, Yenia looked at her enviously and asked,

"Did you really find that woolly rhino right away?"

"Yeah. We found it near the beach, unexpectedly... Sean said he was very lucky."

"I’m very lucky too!" Yenia seemed a bit disgruntled and as if pitching herself, "Most of the ivory our team found was discovered by me!"

"What happened to your team? Why did you leave?" Viola was indeed happy that Yenia had come, but throughout the journey, she pondered why Yenia, who always said she was doing well, now wanted to leave?

There had to be some issue!

Yenia said with a wry smile,

"Although I used to be with the Diggers and had considerable experience, digging for woolly mammoth ivory is different. Our team was temporarily assembled, and there was limited trust among us."

Yenia went on to explain how she discovered ivory, and then the entire team came to "help" excavate it, and the final proceeds were split among everyone—

Then they encountered a patrol team, and the ivory she had dug up on her own got confiscated.

At that time, if someone had come to help her, the ivory could have been taken into the forest.

But no one helped her.

At that point, Yenia saw the selfish nature of the other team members.

Latterly, the team leader refused to give her money and tried to swallow her share; Yenia even felt that if she were slightly disobedient later, she might even lose her life there.

These people were really not like the Diggers she had stayed with before.

Thus, Yenia had left.

As the off-road vehicle hurried back, and Viola and Yenia were chatting, Victor and his team leader, upon hearing the gunshots, were so frightened that they hid in the jungle.

It was only after Viola and her group reached Sean Knight’s campground that these people cautiously approached the location of the gunshots.

By then, several Plains wolves were tearing apart the huge brown bear. Seeing people approaching, they bared their sharp teeth and made threatening sounds.

Victor and the others immediately left; they didn’t see Yenia nor the backpack.

"Could someone have taken her away?" Victor speculated.

"Those gunshots..." the team leader worried, "Could it be... she got some help?"

Yenia hadn’t told these people that Viola and her team were coming.
